Gentlemen, it’s time. Time to start thinking about your beautiful wife and how you can lavish her with love this time of year. Sure, Mother’s Day honors her as a mom, and you may be wondering how your role as her husband plays a part in this holiday. After all, she isn’t your mother. Besides, if the kiddos create cute little crafts in school or church, you may be thinking that’s enough, right?Well, to be fair, most mommas absolutely do love those sweet, meaningful handmade cards and gifts. But…there is so much value in acknowledging your bride as the mother of your children and taking the time to make her feel special, especially on a day that is meant just for her!Honestly, I understand that as you get older, this holiday can be a bit perplexing. My husband faced these challenges as well. Because, let’s face it, once you have children of your own, you do feel this need to still celebrate your own mom while also trying to honor your wife. You may even find yourself confused as you wander down the card aisle, picking out a card and possibly flowers or a meaningful gift for your own mom, then pondering whether you should grab something for your wife as well.The truth of the matter is, you should acknowledge all mothers in your life and extend sentiments to make them feel special on Mother’s Day. Whether it be a simple phone call or a card to your mom, a gentle hug for your mother-in-law, or a heartfelt voice message for your sister. It really doesn’t take much to show the ladies in your life some gratitude for all they do.However, when it comes to the nature of your lovely lady, it hits home—literally. While your children may come home with sweet cards, you still play a vital part. It’s a moment to extend your sincere thanks and praise for her valuable contributions to your family. There are gestures that tell her you not only “see her,” but you truly want her to feel loved, cherished, and appreciated.Photo credit: ©GettyImages/Chong Kee Siong
